Wolves have announced details of a promotion party in Wolverhampton to celebrate their return to the Premier League.

Road closures will be in operation on Bank Holiday Monday to celebrate the promotion of the club to the top-flight.

The street parade will commence from Lichfield Street outside Wolverhampton Art Gallery at approximately 12 noon.

The event in conjunction with the City of Wolverhampton Council will take place on Bank Holiday Monday, 7 May.

Wolves managing director Laurie Dalrymple told the club's website: “We are really looking forward to what will be a fantastic day of celebration for the city of Wolverhampton, and everybody who has played a part in this magnificent season.

“Nuno and the squad have a real desire to thank you for the support they have received throughout the season, so thanks goes to everyone involved who has made this event possible.

“Promotion to the Premier League has been a real team effort, and there seems no more fitting way to celebrate it than together, as one city.”

Throughout the day, several road closures will operate through the city. To avoid as much disruption as possible, the city council is encouraging visitors to make use of public transport and avoid driving into the city centre.

Normal match day parking restrictions will be in place and usual parking charges will apply. Additional parking will also be available at the Civic Centre carpark from 9am until 5pm via Wulfruna Street.

Rolling road closures will operate between 12pm and 1pm along the following route:

Keith Ireland, managing director of City of Wolverhampton Council, said: “The council recognises that Wolves outstanding season and return to the top flight is an enormous achievement not only for the amazing Wolves fans, but for the entire city.

“We have been working closely with the club, with the support of West Midlands Police, to organise a promotion party the whole city can enjoy and hope as many people as possible come out to show how proud they are of Wolves with a sea of gold and black.”

The event will give Wolves players and staff the chance to parade The Sky Bet Championship trophy in front of supporters during an open top bus tour through the city centre.

There will be a family-friendly ‘party in the park’ at West Park.

The council will honour the club’s outstanding achievement with a private civic reception hosted by the Deputy Mayor

After the civic reception, two open top buses carrying the players and staff will set off from outside Wolverhampton Art Gallery on Lichfield Street at noon.

Supporters can line the route as the buses travel down Lichfield Street, through Queen Square, down Darlington Street, turning into Waterloo Road, across the Ring Road, turning into Newhampton Road East, Lansdowne Road and along Park Road East.

Nuno will then lead his team into West Park where 30,000 Wolves fans will greet their heroes at a free, family-friendly, ticketed party.

Nuno and players will address the crowd and show off the trophy. There will be musical performances from special guests, a giant screen, fun fair and refreshments.

Due to the very large numbers of people expected in the city, it is necessary for safety reasons to strictly control the number of fans entering the park.

Only people with tickets will be able to go into the park and will need to arrive by 11.30am before the bus parade sets off. There will be no admission to the park after this time.

Fans therefore have the choice to either line the parade route or attend the family party in the park.

Fans who choose to line the parade route will be able to watch the park event on a large screen in Queen Square.

After the parade has finished, the staff and players will be heading to the Starworks Warehouse for a promotion party. Tickets for event can be purchased here.
